The anchor point in the stock design isn't variable, it is ultimately the radius arm bushing at the frame. I hope those don't move around.

A sway bar is a torsion spring, I've been saying that from the start.

Push up on one tire and the sway bar tries to pull up on the other tire. Since it isn't strong enough to do that (& compress both front suspension springs) it twists. Which increases the spring rate at the tire trying to be pushed up. Which reduces body lean.

Grab a pair of cruiser style bicycle handle bars that are not attached to a bike. Try to twist them. In trying to do that you are duplicating how the stock bar design works. The lateral part across in front of you doesn't need to anchored to anything so long as both levers are held over a distance or at two points.
